We are casting the following roles:

Actor 2 (Laurey Williams): The female lead, Laurey is an independent and strong-willed farm girl. Despite her initial resistance, she is romantically torn between Curly and Jud. Laurey is a central character, and her choices drive much of the plot.
Actor 3 (Jud Fry / Ali Hakim): JUD: The brooding and mysterious farmhand who becomes infatuated with Laurey. Jud is a complex character, struggling with feelings of isolation and longing. His presence adds a layer of tension and darkness to the story. ALI HAKIM: A traveling peddler known for his wit and charm. Ali Hakim is a humorous character who flirts with Ado Annie but is reluctant to commit to a serious relationship.
Actor 4 (Ado Annie Carnes): A vivacious and flirtatious young woman who is romantically involved with both Will Parker and Ali Hakim. Ado Annie’s romantic entanglements and comedic personality make her a memorable and entertaining character.
Actor 5 (Will Parker): A good-natured and somewhat naive cowboy who is deeply in love with Ado Annie. Will’s energetic and optimistic nature contrasts with the more complex relationships around him.
Actor 6 (Aunt Eller Murphy): The matriarch of the community and Laurey’s aunt. Eller is a wise and strong woman who provides guidance and a sense of stability to those around her.
Actor 7 (Old Man Carnes): Ado Annie’s father, he is a protective and somewhat stern figure. Old Man Carnes is concerned about his daughter’s romantic choices and plays a role in the unfolding events.
